Heads-up Omaha HI

I always struggle when I get to heads-up in an Omaha sit-and-go.
I know you can play a lot more hands, but does this mean you play any 4 cards, and how aggressive should you play ?

HU should be played with a little more aggressiveness. But not with just any 4 cards. There are a number of strategies to use. The best way to improve your HU game is to watch a few games that are HU. You will find that most play is just calling to see the flop. It is what you do with it afterwards is where the game takes off. You can basically figure on a PL raise that your opponent has a wrap or high pairs. You play HU in PLO just like you would with HE. The trick is not to play a lot more hands but to play the better drawing hands. You really should read at least one book on PLO. It will help you with your end game.

i really enjoy heads up omaha in fact i'll often play a heads up sit and go. i like to play really agressive with a hand like 9h Th Jc Qc (or similar) i find that pairs aren't as good unless of course you can make a boat. the majority of heads up winning hands i find come from straights and flushes so i would suggest playing those hands mentioned agressively and hope to hit your flop.
